GO NAVY!

This is probably the first time I ever seriously say this and mean it, but GO NAVY! As of 2226 last night, a US Navy cruiser launched a missile and scored a direct hit on a bus-sized, highly classified spy satellite falling from the sky. Congratulations to Raytheon on their excellent missiles and the US Navy for their superior marksmanship.

While the Pentagon states that the reason for destroying the satellite was to protect inhabitants of the impact zone from exposure to its hydrazine fuel, the fact that the satellite was highly classified and that pieces could survive reentry likely was the true reason for the shoot-down. The chance to prove our missile defense systems and the ability to drop a satellite from earth didn't hurt either, as China had done so not long ago.

Now China wants data on our successful operation, allegedly concerned about harm caused to other countries and the ambiguous term "outer space security." More likely, they want to compare their capabilities to those of the greatest military power in the nation in order to outdo us at our own game. Well I've got news for ya, China... YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT! GO AMERICA!
